We are true believers in environmental sustainability. Our involvement with green initiatives is a crucial part of Uhma.
We don’t like and don’t support green-washing, because of that Uhma Organic Spa & Green Shop was designed and built under eco-responsible guidelines and Biophilic principles (bringing elements from nature indoors) to create a relaxing, non-toxic and eco-friendly environment.

At Uhma we:

Reuse and recycle all construction materials that were already in place before we start construction

Use sustainable domestic American walnut wood though out the spa and shop, making it a very welcoming place

Use bamboo on the floors – bamboo grows very fast making it a good source of renewable flooring material

Use VOC-free (zero-volatile organic compound) paint

Use eco-friendly lightening and bulbs

Install tankless gas water heater

Install highly efficient energy star appliances, including a washer that allows us to sanitize towels and robes without the use of chemicals and minimum amount of water

Install environmentally sound toilets

Install HEPA air purifying systems in conjunction with live plants, making Uhma a clean, breathable and allergy-free place

Bring to you treatments that use local ingredients, like the Florida Honey Body Scrub

Does it make any difference?
Every effort counts. We know that Uhma’s green policies by themselves aren’t enough, but as part of a greater effort, they do help to secure a healthier future and make the environment cleaner and more pleasant.
